Benefits Of Acupuncture Insomnia Treatment

To get proper sleep during the night, you should have balanced hormones and autonomic nervous system. Those who experience difficulty in getting sleep are said to suffer from insomnia. It is basically a sleep disorder. Acupuncture insomnia is about treating this problem. As per research done on acupuncture, this treatment promotes homeostasis recovery and helps in balancing biological chemicals in the nervous system.

Helps to promote more Melatonin
It has been observed that people who have severe insomnia showed significant increase in secretion of endogenous melatonin after five weeks of acupuncture treatment (twice every week). There is a connection between melatonin and acupuncture treatment. As per the indication of records of electrical and muscular state of a patient post acupuncture treatment, it took less time for the patient to fall asleep. And during the entire sleep period, the patient woke up on fewer occasions and the total sleep/deep sleep time also increased. Patients also reported decreased fatigue, anxiety and depression as well as morning alertness.

Helps to increase Blood Flow to the Brain
As per some studies conducted by medical specialists, insufficient blood flow to the brain results in low sugar levels which in turn causes the person to wake up more frequently leading to sleep disturbances. If blood pressure to the head is less than 30 mmHg, which is considered as very low, you will experience either insomnia or excessive sleepiness along with other problems. This condition can be treated through electro-acupuncture stimulation, which increases blood flow to the brain.

Acupuncture in Pain
While recording the total sleep time and bedtime in two groups of adolescents, one suffering from chronic pain and the other healthy, no differences could be found. But the adolescents suffering from chronic pain woke up frequently at night, got up late in the morning and showed symptoms of daytime sleepiness. The analgesic effect of acupuncture treatment is considered to be very effective which helps people suffering from chronic pain to improve their quality of sleep. Hence Acupuncture in pain related cases is highly recommended.

Mobile Acupuncture
Acupuncture has helped lots of people to overcome their various health problems. The success and popularity of this treatment encouraged acupuncture practitioners to provide this treatment beyond clinics and health centres. Today, you can seek acupuncture treatment at your home if it is inconvenient for you to go out. Hence, the term mobile acupuncture means getting this treatment on the move.
